Newcastle and Manchester City are both rumoured to sign James Maddison. I don't think there is any need for a player like Maddison for Manchester City. They already have a very solid squad now. They aren't in need of an attacking midfielder. Maybe they might be thinking of increasing the number of alternatives but I don't know if Maddison would be eager to wait in the substitutes.

On the other hand Newcastle would make use of a midfielder like him a lot. They are already trying to build a strong team for next season. Maddison would be a solid addition.
I agree with you that maybe Maddison will be needed more while at Newcastle. Competition at Manchester City is very tight to be able to occupy the main players in every match. I think it will be up to the player to decide, because there's nothing wrong with choosing Newcastle over Manchester City. Maybe Manchester City's name is now better than Newcastle, but they are now a team that will compete at the top with performances that I think are surprising this season.

For Osimhen side it's gambling, because he can be a superstar for carrying Chelsea or he can just choose a safer place but he will have a lot pressure since he need to replace the old great striker of the strong team.

Yes that's correct. actually Chelsea need a striker who is sharper, Joao Felix has not been able to answer that. even on his first debut, he was suspended for a red card. Kai Havertz, unreliable, Auba, not showing his sharpness. after all, he'll be leaving next summer. while the other strikers, do not have a clear future. however Potter had no other choice but to make use of the available strikers, perhaps because of that the name Osimhen emerged in response to the team's need for a pure forward.

Even so, there are several clubs that want the services of this Napoli striker. Rumor has it that Napoli will release Oshimen next season and the club at the forefront is United. and if that's true, I think Oshimen would prefer United over playing for Chelsea. it's just that, the problem is, Napoli will sell Oshimen at a fantastic price.

On the last day of transfer season (if they don't extend the period) Beşiktaş transferred right wing back Onur Bulut from free transfer. Onur Bulut terminated his contract with Kayserispor. There were multiple clubs interested in him but he chose Beşiktaş. It's a good addition to the squad as Rosier don't have a backup player in right wing back. If Onur performs well he may even cut Rosier from the starting eleven as Rosier don't have a standard performance. He's only 28 years old so he's in his prime. Signing him for free is a great move for Beşiktaş. Hope to see him play in next matches.

This is my first time hearing about a such rumour. I meant i just see the news that chelsea is willing to pay any mounts of money as long as osimhen will be coming to stamford bridge. I don't even know why there was a rumor linked to the leao. The performance from osimhen is very consistent compared with leago. I will doubt if leao will be joining chelsea. Osimhen has become even better compared with leao. Chelsea is now putting osimhen as main target. I think that osimhen will be very suitable to become a new striker for chelsea.
Osimhen has pretty much the same play style as drogba. Osimhen can become the next drogba for chelsea. I prefer to see osimhen to go to the stamford bridge rather than leao.

The news is not too crowded and not many online media publish it. I read the news from football-Italia.net dan Football.london, which was on my Twitter timeline at that time. And from the same media, I read that Chelsea is ready to help pay off Leao's debt problems with Sporting if he is willing to join Chelsea this summer. Of course, so far this is just a rumor, but who knows, even get Osimhen, Chelsea keep their eyes to bring in Leao.
I think Todd Boehlly should be careful in other not to attract investigation or Charges. Chelsea already has Nkunku and Fofana coupled with some other attackers who sometimes can be used as false 9, but their present coach is unable to rotate and use these players. instead of paying all it takes to bring in a good coach he is out there to pay for another attacker.  I don't subscribe to this idea cuz Oshimen may not have a better future in England.

The Turkish Football Federation made an official application to FIFA due to the earthquake disaster and demanded the extension of the transfer and registration period.
Normally, the transfer period was ending today, but for the last 3 days, everyone has been dealing with post-earthquake aid. All matches have been postponed. If FIFA answers yes, it's possible that the transfer period will be extended.

Malatyaspor goalkeeper lost his life. The cities of some clubs suffered great destruction. We look forward to seeing what steps they will take after some time has passed. At the moment these are not important, but after a while life will go on.
Previously, my condolences for the earthquake disaster that occurred in Turkey, this is sad news for everyone in the world and we hope that everything will return to normal as soon as possible. Regarding the deadline for the transfer of the Turkish league it seems that it will be a priority that is set aside first and of course FIFA will understand this. As for the players who play in the Turkish league clubs, I hope they are safe and can continue the competition when things start to subside. To the family of the Malatyaspor goalkeeper Ahmet Eyup, we wish them all the courage to face difficult times.

I would like Coutinho at Arsenal or Manchester United. I think he still has the potential to be a world class player but he is getting older now. I have watched him in the German league for Bayern and he was a very good player when he played for them. Injury problems I think is the biggest problem with him and he is not getting younger. The next move for him will be his last chance to prove himself before retirement and I think the Premier League or the Bundesliga suits him best. I do not watch much of the Spanish league but I heard he has not got the best of performances in spain. it is probably because of the different style of play. The Bundesliga and the Premier League are very similar in pace and ferocity. I do not think he suits Dortmund but I would be willing to give him a shot if we did make the move for him.

If Galatasaray is really able to sign Coutinho then i think this would be a huge deal for them. Philippe Coutinho is still one of the most talented players out there in the world of football in my opinion,

Coutinho was exceptional at Liverpool, but the transfer in Barcelona ruined his career. I don't know what happened in the Catalonian team with this guy. Going to a club like Galatasaray means that Coutinho is now basically a second tier player. Perhaps Jurgen Klopp would've tried to convince Coutinho into signing with Liverpool, so that the Brazilian player could get a chance to revive his career in a top tier club and help Liverpool in their battle for the fourth place in the Premier League.
Marco Asensio was never really a key player for Real Madrid. He's more like a substitute player, who replaces the big stars at the end of the match  for 10-15 minutes. Unfortunately he didn't turn into the new Raul Gonzales, despite the fact that he was prepared in Real Madrid's Academy. Maybe he will find his place in Arsenal.

The performance of Coutinho has greatly declined. Presently playing at Aston Villa, he rarely scores goals or assists or even to create chances. After his disastrous season in Barcelona, he went over to Bayern and actually did pretty good over there. He may have actually did better under Klopp at Liverpool. Now speculations going round about his move to Galatasaray over in Turkey.
In my opinion, Liverpool’s Salah performance has also dropped a notch. He hasn’t scored much goals as he did the previous season and with his recent performance, it doesn’t look like he would have a turn around soon.

Galatasaray has attempts to loan Philippe Coutinho from Aston Villa with permanent deal at the end of this season and rumour is Aston Villa also want to sell him because they weren't satisfied with his performance and since arrived from Barcelona Coutinho didn't giving any significant progress during play for Aston Villa even recently he has got injured which makes he lost his position on Brazil national team
However Coutinho has spend 19 matches this season without goals and assists i think it proven he hasn't suitable to playing on Aston Villa and Premier league anymore so he should be thinking the offers from Galatasaray because it might be will save his career
This shouldn't be a surprise because Philippe Coutinho is a good amd talented player and still have quite a few years to continue playing before he goes to the MLS or Saudi Arabia. I think a move to Galatasaray isn't a bad one at all, probably Galatasaray could be a good club to complete his professional career or better still move to lesser competition.
Even though Philippe Coutinho is one of the best players in the world, he rarely causes his opponents any problems. Leaving Liverpool was a waste of Coutinho's future. But if you're not ready to tackle the challenge, you'll end up wasting your time and talent. When he was at Liverpool, he was a super star. Footballers with great potential should take note of this lesson. There is no easy way to explain what happened to him. In spite of this, he still has some playing time left. There seems to be a reason for everything that happens. The decline of Coutinho is hard to watch.

But with that, is it really not too much? then why do they bring in wingers like Mudryk, Sterling or maybe even Joao this season? The presence of Leao will obviously make the wings more crowded in terms of competition which even though it's good but I think this will be an obstacle in the adaptation of new players.
Osimhen is also actually very good but does he really want to? Osimhen's chances of reaching the Top Score and selling in the domestic league in Italy are now open, unless he is willing to leave that and get nothing at Chelsea.
It's ridiculous move if Chelsea want to sign Leao, the problem of Chelsea is their strikers, they need to find a pure striker who score many goals like Lewandowski, Haaland, Kane etc. Osimhen is the top scorer in Serie A right now, so it's a good move if Chelsea can sign him. Chelsea midfielders aren't weak, there are a lot chances created by Fernandez, Mount and Kante. But the finisher aka striker can't maximize the chances created by the midfielders, it's why Chelsea is rarely win or score many goals.

For Osimhen side it's gambling, because he can be a superstar for carrying Chelsea or he can just choose a safer place but he will have a lot pressure since he need to replace the old great striker of the strong team.

He had a few good matches when he was at Bayern Munich for a year and he even won the Champions League with them but overall his performances were pretty disappointing since he left FC Liverpool.
I think that Coutinho would deserve a better club than Galatasaray to be honest. Nothing against the turkish league, but it is at leats one tier below the big european Leagues and with only 30 years Coutinho is still to young to play there in my opinion. He could still find a good club in Spain, England, Germany or Italy.
Usually in the Turkish league they end their careers. No offense, but it's not the strongest league to say the least and top players prefer to end their careers there. Sometimes slipping into the Champions League/Europe. Coutinho is 30 years old and has not scored a single goal in his last 18 games. If you remember that five years ago Barca was paid 145 million euros for him, you can understand where his career has come.

As a top player his career ended when he left Liverpool and essentially there was only a path downwards, without much luck.

Already aware of the speculations that Chelsea intends to make an open offer to AC Milan for Rafael Leao. Stefano Pioli wants to keep the Portuguese international since he is a major project for the club and is one of Milan's top frontlines. He will perform best for the team if the Blues are successful in getting him over. Victor Osimhen, though, is certainly a terrific player, but one thing we all overlooked was that this season is his prime season to shine, and Napoli is currently atop the table, so there's every chance the Nigerian will perform better in league matches.
That's seriously going at an insane price at this point. I mean they are looking to buy more players? I get that they have a new owner and the new owner wants to show the fan base that he is not afraid of spending money to make the team better and he is not the one to judge for these bad results.

They are doing terribly and owner is just making sure he is spending a ton of money so he could say "I did all I could", but this is just getting too much. He could already say that, they spent over half a billion pounds on players and if they get Leao somehow, which would be insane itself, then they would be getting near the 600+ million levels and that's just not normal, unheard of by any team ever.
Leao is still cheap but the problem is there are rumors that are being said that if chelsea is willing to buy osimhen at any price. That means chelsea is ready to spend hundreds of millions pounds again for osimhen from napoli which is very crazy if such a thing will be real. Chelsea has signed nkuku from leipzig and so what's a point of buying another striker again? So many playerd didn't even get regular time to play. How can chelsea be thinking adding more players are the best choice to bounce the performance from the club?
I think that todd must be using his sense. He is thinking like playing the football manager game where he can buy any players like that.

There are some things that makes me feel doubt

1. Chelsea has been linked with luis enrique as a potential replacement for potter
2. Chelsea has been recruiting rugby's coach and what is this for? I guess todd was thinking bringing rugby's coach to boost the mentality of the players is the best choice. *LMAO



I think that Chelsea might also be watching what is now happening with Manchester City. Chelsea's spending can't be limitless either. They give give away a couple of their guys in order to make up for any deficit for the transfer period, but if they keep spending money like mad there is no way they can make up for it by selling their players.
The problem that faces by manchester city is a bit different compared with chelsea. Manchester city has been found manipulating its financial since a long time ago. Premier league was just announcing already investigated it around 4 years.
That's why chelsea may not face the same problem that faces by manchester city now. There is also second point if chelsea was spending so much money by exploring the loopholes. That loopholes being known as chelsea was buying young players with very long contract up to 8 years.
Enrique would make sense since he has experience with high pressure at Barcelona. Todd might basically be on the wrong way and as you said it is not about creating a mix of expensive players and there you go. I have no idea whether Todd knows enough about soccer to make the right decisions now, but Chelsea does need a proper restart at some point for sure.
Let's see whether enrique will be going to the chelsea or not. As far as i know pep will be also leaving from manchester city and so chelsea has a chance to hijack him as a new coach for the club as well. Todd is only know about how to spend money.

Asensio has played in many matches maybe but most of them were for a short period of time. He was preferred by Ancelotti in their last two matches for a long time this time. He impressed people by a solid effort in one of them. But the other match was a nightmare for him. Because he missed a penalty.

The reason why I've told you this is to show that he isn't a consistent player. At least it is like this while he is a Real Madrid player. Because of that maybe Arsenal might be a good choice for Asensio. He is already an unwanted player here as it seems. Because his contract is nearly expiring. Arsenal like to bring this kind of players to help them rise again. Odegaard has been impressive for example.
I think even if his contract is ending soon but when Asensio is offered a new contract extension he will sign it immediately and will stay at Real Madrid. Although I've heard rumors that he's not happy about not getting enough minutes under Ancelotti, I don't think that changes my opinion that Asensio still loves Real Madrid as his home. Talking about the possibility of him going to Arsenal, I don't think this will happen considering that Arsenal are much better now and if Asensio only comes as a bench warmer, it is better for him to stay at Real Madrid.
Asensio is very good player , I don't know why Ancelotti don't want to play him. Though the coach has the final say in his team, if Asensio is not good enough for him let him not consider signing new contract for Real Madrid, let him try another league under a new coach. I still trust Asensio ability, I heard a rumour of him joining Manchester United, I wish it's true. He will fit in Ten Tag squad. But I don't why him to sign for Real Madrid and remain in on the bench.
Maybe the reason Asensio chose to stay at Real Madrid was because he wanted to continue to be able to win the league and other European competitions. But I've just heard the latest news that Real Madrid have offered a contract extension until 2027 for a whopping €4.8 million net salary, but Asensio and his agent Jorge Mendes want €6 million. It seems that this will be a difficult decision between the club and the player, but what is certain is that even if Asensio does not agree to this offer, many clubs in Europe will want to bring him in the summer transfer market.

I think Coutinho career with Brazil national team have been ended, not only played with mediocre team like Aston Villa but right now he has poor performance and difficult getting back his regular position.
Coutinho is playing for central attacking midfielder position, but in 18 matches he never contribute any single assist or goal, it's really proving he's really bad. Even though Aston Villa is not a strong team, but they can score few goals and not get humiliated. Douglas Luiz is the play maker in Aston Villa, there's no way for Coutinho can compete Luiz. Coutinho's prime has been passed although he's currently 30 years old, it's a prime age for many footballers.
Still, this is an age where they can play good games at any time.  No words are needed to describe the quality of the 30-year-old actor.  Although it is far from the prime period of the past for now, I believe that it will approach those periods again.  I've been seeing news about his transfer with Galatasaray these days.  If he goes to Galatasaray, I think he will be successful.
Right now, playing as substitute or having less playing time is not ideal situation with the already passed his prime time in soccer most chances if he is going to move Turkey for the Galatasaray this could be ideal situation, and he can do much better for them because currently they are at the top and having chance for the next seasons UEFA event chance which will allow him for having better time and give his best for this club which is also bringing good quality players for their development and better performance and having amazing season in Turkey with the presence of Icardi and Mata his entry will also help them for having better results in European competitions as he is already having good experience for this all.
It seems sense that a player in Icardi's prime would want not to be a bench warmer or see reduced playing time. Galatasaray is presently in first place and has a good shot of qualifying for the UEFA competition next season, so the striker may do well to go there.

They may get a boost in performance and a competitive edge in European competition if they bring in Icardi and Mata. Icardi's expertise might be very helpful for Galatasaray, who have made several excellent buys of high-quality players in the past. Still, whether Icardi will actually relocate to Turkey and become a part of the team's success there is an open question. Observing his future decisions will be exciting!
